The movement kept themselves carefully
concealed. For this rea on many OF the
well known and trusted leaders would

quite lonely, for there WAS no audience

OF 1t coming. Then some Of the gang
went to an itinerant doctor
who had brass band on the Military
plaza, and he came and drew crowd OF
curious spectators and lOafers that hang
round the medicine vendors nightly.
This done, Mr.. II. b. Salliway mount
